Cocoa Village was another town that we enjoyed visiting our first time around but we chose to only stay one night this time around. We enjoyed walking around the historic village and had dinner at the wonderful Italian restaurant, Villa Palma, where we had eaten during our first visit here. We did not mention Travis Hardware in our original post. Travis Hardware was founded in 1885 and is the oldest continuously operating business in Cocoa and one of the oldest hardware stores in Florida. This store has survived two world wars as well as numerous hurricanes and financial busts. The building was completed in 1891 and purchased by Colonel S.F. Travis in 1902 who added a second building in 1907.
